Lucky little cherubs

I whipped up a few things for some girl friends that I met up with the other night.... I painted some peat pots green and added a vintage graphic from "Imagi Meri's Creations" She has thee most delightful graphics :-) Next, I glued some vintage crepe paper and ribbon to the little pots and the containers were finished in a snap. Inside each little peat pot I tucked a little jar with a Saint Patricks day fairy in each one. I tied a four leaf clover tag to each little bottle.... I remember in my kindergarten class if you found a four leaf clover the teacher would tape to the center of a construction paper crown and you got to wear it all day long.... I think I'll make two crowns for my grand kids with four leaf clovers on them :-)I've linked this post to Paper Issues, "Go Green or Go Home" linky party, and "Sew Many Ways" FAFF linky party.

Cheryl those little bottles with the the little leprachauns in them are just delightful! you make the most awesome stuff! And crowns for your grand kids is such a great idea! mine are too young yet for crowns!xoxovivian

I am a mixed media artist. I love to sew, embroider, crochet and create things using vintage objects. I love: old classic cars, vintage fabrics, old buttons, cats, shabby chic furniture & linens.... chewing gum, diet pepsi, sneakers, chocolate and gardening~ I like to rummage through thrift stores, yard sales, estate sales and the occasional curbside trash pile. I don't mind getting dirty for treasures! I like to repurpose found objects throughout my home and garden.
